Christ the Saviour (Pantokrator), a 6th-century encaustic icon from Saint Catherine’s Monastery, Mount Sinai
The oldest known icon of Christ Pantocrator, encaustic on panel. The two different facial expressions on either side emphasize Christ’s dual nature as fully God and fully human.
With thanks to mediumaevum.
